Minutes of Work Session
nn@~
~~ ~~[J'@~'
Present were Mayor Capra, Council members Tom Lee, Linda Broussard-Vickers, Jeff
Paar, and Michelle Lakso. Also present were City Attorney Kurt Glaser, City Engineer
Mark Statz, and Public Works Director Paul Palzer.
Mark Statz reviewed the feasibility report for the 2009 street improvements. The total
cost of the project would exceed $8 million. It was estimated that assessments would be
around 30 percent of the project cost and be higher on streets where watermain was
included, since that cost is entirely assigned to the properties served. The council
discussed the costs and how the project might be assessed. Also considered was the
possibility of including the water service lines to the homes in the project. This increases
the costs and assessment amounts, but takes away the uncertainty for the property
owners. The city would not subsidize the service line work, but would provide the
financing.
The Council agreed that the open house meeting with property owners should take place
on October 4, at St. Genevieve Community Center. Council members may try to attend,
but that would not be necessary. The purpose of the meeting would be to present the
project to property owners and get feedback before any definite decisions are made on the
project
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9:40 p.m.
Dallas Larson, Administrator

Milo Bennett, Fire Chief ~
Centerville Lions Club Haunted House
From:
The Centerville Lions Club is preparing for their annual haunted house for the
children this Halloween. Even through this is a popular event and everyone has the
best of intentions, I don't believe there is any way to allow this event in the old
Waterworks building.
The haunted house actually falls under the "special amusement building" category
in the Minnesota Fire Code and requires many items such as an alarm system that
is not installed in this building at this time. There also may be a need for automatic
fire sprinkler protection.
The liability for everyone involved is huge if a child should get hurt in a facility
like this because we allowed the event to happen in a structure that did not meet
requirements.
Even though there is a huge liability, the main concern is that we have a safe
location for such an event. Heaven forbid if some young child was injured or worse
yet killed because we didn't enforce the rules.
):(J
, '
, .
The fact that this event has taken place in buildings in the past that did not meet the
Minnesota Fire code, does not mean this practice should be continued, The Fire
code is written for the protection of the citizens that are in the various buildings.
This may be an issue that the City Council should be aware of because this is an
annual event that has taken place for many years.
The Fire Inspector and the Centerville Building Inspector have said that they
suspect there is also a mold issue in the Waterworks building.
There may be another structure in Centerville that meets code that the Lions club
could use for such an event.
As always we are willing to work with anyone involved to make sure we have a
safe event.

RE:
Anoka County-City Joint Powers
Agreement for Mutual Aid
The Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement Council recommends that
the county and the cities in Anoka County enter into a new law
enforcement mutual aid agreement. The existing agreement is over 20
years old and does not address current issues. The enclosed
agreement represents the conclusion of the Council as to its terms. It
largely follows the League of Cities recommendations for such a
mutual aid agreement.
Please have your city execute the agreement and return to me. Call
me if you have any questions.

NORTH METRO TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION MEMO
TO: OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
FROM: HEIDI ARNSON
SUBJEcr: ADDmONAL FRANCHISE 1EMPLATE SUMMARY
DATE: 9/4/07
Telephone companies want to provide video services. However, they have stated that they believe
the current franchising process takes too long and that cities serve as barriers to entry into the
market. As such they are lobbying state and federal govemment hard to change laws to benefit them
in the video service marketplace.
The FCC recently approved a "Report and Order" that only allows local franchising authorities 90
days to negotiate a franchise for a phone company to provide video service. The new guideline
became effective on August 6, 2007.
The North Metro Telecommunications Conunission (NMTC) approved "Policies and Procedures"
for accepting applications for competitive franchises in December 2006. The policies and
procedures take into account Minnesota St'dtute 238 and the new regulatory guidelines indicated in
the FCC's "Report and Order." The Policies and Procedures simplify and streamline the application
process, challenging the argument that cities serve as a barrier to entry in the market With an
Additional Franchise Template for video service competitors, the franchise application, negotiation,
and approval process would be greatly hastened.
The "Model Additional Franchise Template" is based on the existing franchise with Comcast. It
maintains a '1evel playing field" and considers community needs and interests, but it also addresses
technological changes and the new regulatory framework When drafting the document, the
NMTC's leg.u counsel carefully considered Minnesota Statute 238, the recent FCC "Report and
Order" and the existing franchise. The most significant changes include the sections regarding PEG
and I-NET support. The new document was written so that competitive providers will provide
equivalent support for PEG on a per-suhscriber, pro-rata hasis. New providers would also have to
provide an equivalent investment in an I-NET, whether that is an additional non-duplicative I-NET,
or the equivalent cost of an I-NET paid on a per-subscriber, pro-rata basis. The additional franchise
also indicates various fees that will NOT be deducted from franchise fees. 1bis change was
necessitated by language in the FCC's "Report and Order" that could be interpreted to allow a
franchise holder to offset certain costs and fees against franchise fee payments.
The NMTC reviewed and approved the "Model Additional Franchise Template" at their August 15,
2007 meeting. The Operations Conunittee has also reviewed the document Both groups
recommend that the individual cities pass a resolution approving the template franchise.

rating agency, the City will pay that rating fee. Any other rating agency fees shall be the responsibility of the purchaser.

subject to receipt by the purchaser of an approving legal opinion of Kennedy & Graven, Chartered of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and of

reoffering prices, and (2) a substantial amount of the Improvement Bonds was sold to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers, and
other intermediaries), at such initial reattering prices.
TAX EXEMPT STATUS
In the opinion of Bond Counsel, assuming compliance with certain covenants made by the City Council to satisfy pertinent requirements
of present law, interest on the Improvement Bonds is not, under present law, inciudable in gross income of the recipient for federal
income tax purposes or in taxable net income of individuals, trusts and estates for Minnesota income tax purposes, but such interest is
includable in taxable income of corporations and financial institutions for purposes of the Minnesota franchise tax. Interest on the
Improvement Bonds is not an item of tax preference includable in allernative minimum taxable income for purposes of the federal
alternative minimum tax applicable to all taxpayers or the Minnesota alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, estates and trusts,
but for purposes of computing the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations, such interest is taken into account in
determining adjusted current earnings. The Improvement Bonds will be designated as "qualified tax exempt obligations" under Section
265(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
In order to comply with the provisions of Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Rule") the City has entered into an undertaking (the "Undertaking") for the benefit of the holders of the
Bonds. Through the Undertaking, the City covenants and agrees to provide certain annual financial information and operating data about
the City and to provide notice of the occurrence of certain material events. This information shall be provided according to the time
parameters described in the Undertaking and to the information repositories and the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board as required
by the Rule. The specific provisions of the Undertaking are set forth in the Continuing Disclosure Certificate in substantially the form
attached hereto as Appendix D. The Continuing Disciosure Certificate will be executed and delivered by the City at the time the Bonds
are deiivered. The City is the only "obligated person" with respect to the Bonds within the meaning of the Rule. The City has complied in
all material respects with any portion undertaking under the Rule.

introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR AND
THE CREATION OF TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 1-1
BE IT RESOLVED By the City Council (the Council) of the City of Centerville,
Minnesota (the City) as follows:
Section I. Recitals.
1.01. On September 23, 1987, the Council adopted a Development Program for
Development District No.1, pursuant to and in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes Sections 469.124 through 469.134 (previously Chapter 472A).
1.02. It has been proposed that the City create a Plan for Tax Increment Financing
District No. 1-7.
1.03. The Council has investigated the facts and has caused to create the Tax Increment
Financing Plan (Plan) for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-7.
1.04. The City has performed all actions required by law to be performed prior to the
adoption of the Plan, including, but not limited to, notification of Anoka County
and the Independent School District and holding a public hearing regarding the
Plan upon such notice as is required by law.
1.05. The Plan is contained in a document entitled "Tax Increment Financing Plan, for
Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-7, City of Centerville" dated September
26, 2007, on file at city hall.
1.07. The City Council has fully reviewed the contents of the Plan and has on this date
conducted a public hearing thereon at which the views of all interested persons
were heard.
Section 2. Findings Relating to the Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-7.
21;
2.01. It is found and detennined that it is necessary and desirable for the sound and
orderly development of the District and the City as a whole, and for the protection
and preservation of the public health, safety, and general welfare, that the authority
of the TIF Act be exercised by the City to create the Plan for Tax Increment
Financing District No. 1-7.
2.02. It is further found and detennined, and it is the reasoned opinion of the City, that
the actions proposed in the Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-7,
could not reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within
the reasonably foreseeable future and that therefore the use of tax increment
financing is necessary to assist the project.
2.03. The expenditures proposed to be financed through tax increment financing are
necessary to pennit the City to realize the full potential of the District in terms of
development intensity and tax base.
2.04. The creation of the Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-7 will afford
maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for
the development of the tax increment financing district by private enterprise.
2.05. The Plan conforms to the plans for development of the City as a whole.
2.06. The City Council has relied upon the opinions and recommendations of its staff
and the personal knowledge of the members of the council in reaching its
conclusions regarding the creation of the Plan.
2.07. Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-7 is an economic development tax
increment financing district within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes Section
469.174, Subd. 12.
Section 3. Approval of the Tax Increment Financing Plan.
3.01. The Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-7 is hereby adopted and the
district is hereby created.
